Actually, I tried three different mufflers. Borla, Walker and Flowmaster 40. The Borla was my favorite. One of the best things about the 914 v8 conversion is the mufflers can be changed out in about 20 minutes. Just choose the same size mufflers from the start, ie inlet outlet size, offset(s) and total length. Of the three that I used, these dimensions were all the same, making the swap between quiet to mild or loud a easy process.

Remove the muffler heat shield from the 914 and this opens up alot more room and those C6 mufflers will fit with no problem. Get some mandrel bent U bends and start welding.

Do you plan to mount them with all 4 tips in the center?

I'm so glad I'm taking all of you guy's advice. It's really making a difference on how things go together. THANK YOU!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Engine went in.
Engine came out. Front clearance. Had to trim lip that protrudes at the level of the water inlets. Quick job with a 6" angle grinder and a cutting wheel. =-)

Today I run all water lines off the engine, figure out any wiring that should be connected before engine goes in again, and charging wires.

After that, it's fuel, shifting, throttle systems.... and after that it's......... Drive it!!!!!!!

A few pics.
My buddy Mikey is the bald dude. I suggest that anyone doing this get a friend. If for nothing else, moral support. This is not easy.

Roger,

A couple of us here in Ga. were wondering how it was going. Glad to see your making progress. The R&R gets easier each time.

Removing the rear wheels/tires and using a furniture dolly would really cut your install time down as it provides more room and easier movement of drivetrain as it mates with chassis. I've done it that way by myself several times.

Sound clips tomorrow? : )

Good progress the last few days.

Got the engine in. Then out. then made some "clearance" adjustments... =-) Now ready to go back in.

Figured out some electronic stuff. Running wires and starter, water pump, alternator, ... ignition. Nothing very important.

Then fabricated the fan shroud out of stainless steel. Came out pretty good considering I've never done this kind of thing before. Just watched the fellas' at the OCC.

His G-friend had one that said, "It's not going to lick itself"...
